Do you think this could reach my router 3 floors away?

Honestly, it depends. Im leaning towards no, or low signal. I bought this to use in my university's club, which is in the basement ( surrounded by concrete, pipes, heavy flooring etc.). It can reach some wifi a floor or 2 above (some PS3s, and weird mobile wifis), but it cant reach the normal campus wifi. If you mean standard apartment/house floors, i'd say probably. Its not at all a bad router, but its also not a DC outlet, power hungry, giant radio receiver or anything. So.. i dont actually have a definite answer for you, other than "possibly", leaning slightly towards "probably". Honestly, it depends. Im leaning towards no, or low signal.

We use it when we go camping. It's about 700 feet away and it works perfect.

We use ours to receive a signal from a business that is a 1/4 mile away. Straight line of site. Don't know about going thru floors

I use it as an extender from my router near my computer. The extender is 3 rooms away and with both gives me coverage on 3 floors including the basement of my large house. I am happy with it, but next time would probably buy a more powerful one (more $$$ of course).

I'm not sure what the range is, but mine is on a different floor and about 30 feet from the router and it works fine

I can't really speak to the range of the adapter, because my router isn't too far off. I'd say you could probably get a decent connection if there aren't too many walls (and no bathrooms) in between you and the router. I can't guarantee that, though, sorry &gt;.&lt;

I have a 2800 sf house, with the router place in the room above the garage mounted on a wall vertically. The single to the other side of the house is ok, 52mb out of 145mb. I will be installing a shelf to mount horizontally to try getting a better signal, just have not gotten to it.

Should work fine. My computer is on 2nd floor at opposite end of the house where the router is located.

I can't give you a square footage or mile radius but I can tell you, I have a two-story house as well and this router works throughout and also reaches my neighbor across the street and two doors down. So, I would say it reaches a pretty good distance.

It depends on the layout - walls (brick, drywall etc) It gets good signal over a distance of 70+ feet through 5 walls (In terms of range that wold have you covered in a 5,000 sqft house). If you have a steel pillar in its direct range, it gets no signal even at 10 feet, but that is expected of any router.

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

I have a 3 story house with the router on the middle floor. It covers pretty well. Middle and top floor each 1000 square feet.

yes. a cat 6 cable (vs. 5e) may give marginally better speed and distance, but in a 3-foot cable, I don't believe it will make any noticeable difference. Your router and service provider will most likely give you much less bandwidth/speed than you can push through this cable. Back when I did this kind of work, category 4 could go 300 feet.

My main router is in my basement. I put the extender upstairs, on my first floor which is about 200 feet away from the extender. It reaches another 1,000 feet to our second floor guest rooms. Best purchase we made and the company is extremely helpful.

I doubt it I have added a Belkin range extender, mine is no more than 50ft from the end of house bedroom, admittedy the main router signal goes through some thick timber, but its in the middle of the house in the basement, and only sometimes gets a signal at the end of house bedroom upstairs.

I'm about 30 yards away and upstairs from my router and I get full strength signal. It's fairly good. Just make sure you use the latest drivers from their website, and not the included disk. Also be sure to set your power settings such that it doesn't turn off USB to save power, and set your USB device settings for full power on your port. This will be best on a USB 3.0 port, but still gets great speed on a 2.0 port.

So long as the cable run is short. I have a pretty long cable run... and adding a splitter wasn't great for the signal. (Basement to third floor.)

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

for me it gets mpre than 3 and i live in a 3 floor house..the router is located on the 2nd floor
